QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Jun 12 2014, 02:13 PM) I'm using Hankook Optimo 195/50/16, quite good comfort and decent road grip. I think Continental ContiMaxContact MC5 could be quite good value too, also got 195/50/16. Ori V spec size is 185/55/16, 195/50/16 is quite close to ori size, so your odometer/speedo readings won't affected much.  I kena brainwashed from my dad since i first gotten my car many years back. He said tyre is the only thing that contact with the road so always get good tyre. Couple hundred bucks can't trade your life. Now my brain only got Michelin whenever it comes to tyre cause his favourite is michelin.  if, only if PS3 got 195 but too bad don't have. |

hahaha...true. I have many friends on some cheapo tyres and attack corner like crazy too. My previous 2 cars, 1st day straight away change Michelin. This is the first time i have been driving for a week without changing but currently on "gentle" mode.

i think the suspension is alright. Check your tyre pressure. If you don't carry people/stuff much then can reduce to 28-29psi.

@pink spider - it is fine. Once your tyre roll, it will build up heat which will increase 1-2psi. Most of the time I drive alone so my tyre is always around 29.
@matchonion2 - I purchased mine from Weststar Jln Ampang. Didn't like them at first but cause my office is so near, I bought it from them. At least easier to follow up. Booked early May and i got my Car 1st week June.
I recommended my SA to one of the City member in FB Group and i think she is getting her car if loan approve. Not sure what happen now but the car is ready. Silver V Spec.

@dman - I haven't test S but even in D, I think it has enough pulling power. Pickup is good contrary to what I read earlier before getting the car. I have expectation that this car is sluggish. Maybe it is just me or you guys have different expectation.

@D-Frog, i use back my existing car plate 3003 (BOOB)..lol
I checked with Howie on the Match sound processor (RM3xxx) but the price on the steep side for me now. He said we can notice the difference right away. Maybe i will just do soundproofing for now which will help to boost the speaker bass abit.
This weekend changing my rim, most probably go with Enkei SC33. Current rim don't allow me to use michelin PS3.

QUOTE(maxevil @ Jun 17 2014, 06:55 PM) take queue number and wait then buy the running numbers that u like at counter, is RM210, thats correct. .. However, u can also go inside to meet the Pengarah, he/she has a list of 3digits and 'nombor kahwin' numbers, listed with a fix variety of price, for u to choose from....those number sold sepeartely with different price  all the nicer numbers in pairs (xxyy, xyxy, xyyx, yxxy) as long as not being tendered by anyone yet, it will be filter out and hold by the pengarah...  so if u looking for twin-pair numbers and u at counter, for sure they will say the number no more available.. coz already filtered out to be sold with higher price oledi mah I agree with you. Maybe no need pay if you know pengarah... This post has been edited by ProX: Jun 17 2014, 11:28 PM |

QUOTE(Adrain87 @ Jun 24 2014, 08:09 AM) Agree.... Go BM,LEXUS,AUDI sure no Quality issue! got issue they change 1 on 1 for u! Definitely not right. Different car, different issue. You can check out BMW Club and see they complain against noise insulation. I didn't read everything there but you get the idea. My sister mini cooper S also got centre radio problem and power window failure. |

QUOTE(Pink Spider @ Jun 26 2014, 10:19 AM) PS3 16" got 205/45/16 But it will be a bit too small (diameter-wise) for our City http://www.michelin.com.my/Buying-Guides/T...or/search2.htmlGot 205/50/16  But...205 Michelins...expect a bomb price tag  I am using that. Got it for about 430 per pc from Kean Lee Hin (Jln Ipoh) and also replaced my stock rim with OZ Racing Ultraleggra (5.6kg vs 9kg). Obvious difference vs stock GY Excellence. I feel this rubber give better comfort and lower noise level. Not to mention you can corner with much confident if you are fast driver. |

@Pink spider & Matrix - Yea i know >_<.
I think when it comes to tyre, Michelin will always be my choice. Can call me a fanboy but i guess this brand never disappoint me yet so far (about 10yrs of driving experience)
Pink spider, I corner fast with Michelin xm2 185 also but I kena aquaplane before on 80kmh..heart also drop cause you lost control on the steering and the car will just slide. Good thing is I didnt press brake and let the tyre gain back the grip.
